Sunbrella

Dan, Sunbrella is coated with a water resistant coating during manufacturing. Dying it presents the risk of reducing the coating's effectiveness and so Glen Raven Mills, the manufacturer, recommends against it. Sunbrella comes in at least eight shades of green. None are what you need? Check http://www.sunbrella.com/sunbrell.htm for details. Justin - O'day Owner's Web

ya, but I'm a cheap sob

I have good sail covers other than the color (brite yellow). I don't like yellow. I kinda thought it wouldn't dye well. thanks dan

Maybe if you used blue dye you'd get green covers?

Dan, I don't think dying the covers would be a good idea, but I'm not sure that would stop me from trying. If you're gonig to do it, experiment with a small section and blue dye to get the correct green. Then, when the cover gets all mottled, you will have an excuse to order up some new green ones. :) Justin - O'day Owner's Web
